Department of Civil, Environmental & Ocean Engineering
The Department of Civil, Environmental and Ocean Engineering (CEOE)
The CEOE offers undergraduate and graduate programs, in addition to a variety of graduate certificates and minors that prepare students to succeed in a variety of fields. These programs all share the core principals of engineering, and are embedded in the infrastructure that directly affects the economy and society. At Stevens, civil engineering has been an important discipline since the founding of the university, and CEOE has expanded to include offerings in environmental and oceanographic engineering as a response to ongoing developments in the field.
Exciting opportunities to study, and conduct research abroad include the NSF Pan-American Advanced Studies Institute (PASI), a two-week program to study and improve the health of the Amazon.
